If you increase the temperature of a gas inside a container that is not rigid (like a balloon), the volume of the gas would typically **increase**. This is according to Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature (in Kelvin) when pressure is held constant.

However, if the container is rigid and cannot expand, the volume will **stay the same**, but the pressure of the gas will increase instead.

So, if you are assuming a flexible container, the correct response is **increase**. If it's a rigid container, the answer would be **stay the same**. Please clarify the type of container for a more accurate response!
